Presently as things are sometimes re- vealed in a dream, I saw a face grow, a4 it were, out of the ivy; and then 1 perceived that some one was standing just within the doorway, looking out scape. T looked up in admiration. Some one, Geacribing the face of a great Saxon king, called it “fair, frank and true. Were truth and frankness ever mor ye of the young man before me? He had a noble- looking head and sunny brown hair; | his eyes were ' blue—laughing eyes, | keen and bright, with dark strongly- marked brows; his face was clear cut Uke a cameo, full of power and pride, yet so winning in its falr beauty that no woman could look at it unmoved.

The light of the stars seemed to have passed into the blue eyes that still held mine. *“Yours is a curious story,” he said, thoughfully, “ must have a long ‘alk with you about {t."
